Support for starting, growing and moving forward
Starting or growing a business can be exciting, but you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.
Welsh ICE brings together practical business support, mentoring, affordable workspace and opportunities to learn and connect. Whether you’re still exploring an idea, getting your first customers, building a young business or looking for your next step, we can help you find the right support for where you are now.
From subsidised startup support and one-to-one mentoring to a professional business address, our support is designed to be practical, accessible and focused on helping you move forward.
Find the support that’s right for you.
ICE Start
Affordable startup support to help you get going
Starting a business is easier when you have the right space, people and support around you.
ICE Start gives eligible new businesses six months of unlimited coworking at Welsh ICE for just £30 a month, alongside a registered business address, workshops, networking and one-to-one support from business experts.
It’s designed for people preparing to launch or businesses in their first two years of trading, giving you a professional base, a community around you and practical support as you take those important first steps.
Business Mentoring
Support built around your goals
Sometimes you don’t need another course or a room full of people. You need someone who can look at your business with you, understand the challenge you’re facing and help you work out what to do next.
Our business mentoring offers 121 support tailored to your goals, whether you’re looking for clarity, working through a specific problem or trying to turn your plans into action.
It’s for business owners at any stage who want practical guidance and a fresh perspective, without having to work it all out alone.
Virtual Office
A professional business address without the cost of an office
You don’t need to rent a permanent office to give your business a professional presence.
Our Virtual Office service gives you a recognised South Wales business address at Welsh ICE, along with secure mail and parcel handling, a dedicated mail tray and discounted meeting room hire.
It’s ideal for startups, freelancers, consultants, remote businesses and limited companies that want to keep their home address private while giving customers a professional point of contact.
ICE Connect
Promote your business, make useful connections and stay part of the Welsh ICE community.
Running a business can sometimes feel isolating, particularly when you work from home, work remotely or are building something by yourself.
ICE Connect is an affordable way to become part of the Welsh ICE business community without needing a coworking or workspace membership.
For £5 a month, you can promote your business through our Member Directory, discover useful opportunities, attend selected events and build relationships with founders, experts and organisations across our network.
Whether you are testing an idea, working as a freelancer or growing an established business, ICE Connect can help you stay visible, informed and connected.
